[Unilateral combination of staghorn stone with kidney tumor]

Abstract

This manuscript provides an overview of the available literature about unilateral combination of nephrolithiasis and renal tumor. Analysis of publications has shown that ipsilateral staghorn calculus and kidney tumors are an extremely rare combination. The majority of these infrequent papers describe case reports where the method of treating such patients is limited by the capabilities and competence of the surgeon or clinic. Despite some messages of favorable outcomes of combined interventions, the effectiveness of simultaneous laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and pyelolithotomy has not been studied, and the technique of this procedure, tactics and criteria for choosing this method are not defined.

Keywords: RCC; combination; lap partial nephrectomy and pyelolithotomy; renal tumor; staghorn stone.
